Ambience is great. Service was very professional. Food Wonderful! I had Lamb Chops and they were fabulous. Our reservation was for 2 but turned out family members who live in the area popped in to just have a drink which turned out to be dinner. The restaurant fit us into a tight booth which we were grateful to get. After all they were full and had no idea extra people would be coming. ( Nor did we ) We all had a great time. No drama on part of the restaurant. We appreciate their consideration. We will go back for sure.

The food was fantastic and the ambience was warm and inviting, especially on a cold winter evening. If I had a criticism it is that the scallops dinner was an incredibly small portion (5 scallops), meaningfully smaller than the other entrees at our table and not enough to fill any adult unless you had a sizable appetizer. It was more of an appetizer size.
